"Frank & Louis", which premiered at Sundance this year, is one of nine films showing at the inaugural Park City Film Festival. The story focuses on two prisoners, one with dementia and one who volunteers in a prison-run program as his caretaker. Moving but unsentimental, the film shows how humanity sparks, even in bleak places.

The documentary film “Natchez” explores the contrasting stories a city tells about its difficult history. With richly drawn characters, quiet power, and notes of hope, “Natchez” feels like essential viewing for this divisive moment.

The film “Backside” takes us behind the scenes at Churchill Downs, the site of the elite Kentucky Derby. The stars of this quiet documentary are not the prized racehorses, but the workers who care for the horses seven days a week.

A film about a missed colonoscopy and ensuing cancer diagnosis shouldn’t be this funny. But the 2025 Sundance Audience Favorite Documentary, “André Is an Idiot,” is hysterical, as well as life-affirming and wildly original.

The film “Marty Supreme” is intense and frenzied – and is nominated for nine Academy Awards.
